Ebook: Carbon reduction : policies, strategies, and technologies

In this time of increasingly pressing concern about global climate change and its potentially irreversible and detrimental impacts on the world's population, it is considered urgent to find effective means for significantly reducing local, regional, national and international greenhouse gas emissions in homes, businesses, industries and communities around the planet. This book, first of all, describes in clear, concise and understandable terms the nature and scope of the climate change problem. The authors then combine their considerable expertise to offer specific guidelines for defining and applying the most effective carbon reduction policies, strategies and technologies. Finally, they propose a well-defined blue-print or road map for an action plan for use by practicing engineers, scientists, technicians, managers, and decision-makers, which can be implemented to help control and abate the alarming increases in carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions.
